My teeth are in perfect condition, and my doctor is impressed with my health after a recent physical. I think there may be fewer additives and flavors than you recall. The sugar is the bad part. I think most aversion to sugar free soda is based on inconclusive evidence. Seeing as I have a relatively healthy diet otherwise, I don’t feel it is a risky situation.

Now, other chemicals and plastics seeping into the food is another thing entirely, and will only get worse as time goes on and regulations are eliminated.
